  1. The can corn I buy is not consistantly good. Often they are not as
    tender and sweet as I like. Once I even went back the next day to the
    supermarket to buy more of the same can corn which I found to be sweet
    and tender but it must have been from a different batch because it
    wasn't as good as what I got the day before.

    So. Do you use a brand that has usually tender and sweet whole corn?

    I find the Niblets corn to be reliably good. By the way, it is "canned
    corn," not "can corn"

    I tried Libby's kernal corn today, was very good for canned but I
    think any frozen corn is better than any canned.

    If you need to use canned, Niblets is the best but I think that overall,
    frozen corn is better and easier to use. It seems to always be the same
    quality and isn't 'waterlogged' like so many canned corn brands.

    Trader Joe's Frozen roasted corn.

    It zaps in the nuker or sautés in minutes.

    For canned corn I alway prefer Green Giant (Niblets) Shoe Peg White
    Corn. But nothing compares to good old Roasting Ears cooked over the
    campfire. Summer please hurry and get here.

    Growing up, my mother would only buy Niblets, and I picked up that
    habit. (I don't buy canned corn often, but when I do buy it, that is.)

    Hanover brand - both their regular and gold line vegetables generally seem
    better then others to me

    I buy either fresh in season, or 365 (a brand) organic frozen corn, from
    Whole Foods.
    The difference in flavor is incredible.

    I buy Delmonte exclusively these days. And I use a lot of
    corn. I like it for it's nice crisp texture, just like
    fresh corn. It is also nice and sweet. Green Giant niblets
    are good texture-wise also. Stay away from Libby's - they
    are very soft, not crisp. I also find frozen corn to be softer.
    I used to use frozen corn almost exclusively for the fresher
    taste but when I discovered Delmonte's newer versions I
    switched. They have done something to make the corn stay
    crisper when processed than it did years ago.
